{"product_id":"dante-cinema-and-television-amilcare-iannucci-9780802086013","title":"Dante, Cinema, and Television","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe \u003ci\u003eDivine Comedy\u003c\/i\u003e of Dante Alighieri (1265-1321) is one of the seminal works of western literature. Its impact on modern culture has been enormous, nourishing a plethora of twentieth century authors from Joyce and Borges to Kenzaburo Oe. Although Dante's influence in the literary sphere is well documented, very little has been written on his equally determining role in the evolution of the visual media unique to our times, namely, cinema and television. \u003ci\u003eDante, Cinema, and Television\u003c\/i\u003e corrects this oversight.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe essays, from a broad range of disciplines, cover the influence of the \u003ci\u003eDivine Comedy\u003c\/i\u003e from cinema's silent era on through to the era of sound and the advent of television, as well as its impact on specific directors, actors, and episodes, on national\/regional cinema and television, and on genres. They also consider the different modes of appropriation by cinema and television. \u003ci\u003eDante, Cinema, and Television\u003c\/i\u003e demonstrates the many subtle ways in which Dante's \u003ci\u003eDivine Comedy\u003c\/i\u003e has been given 'new life' by cinema and television, and underscores the tremendous extent of Dante's staying power in the modern world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Amilcare Iannucci\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0802086012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780802086013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Toronto Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/06\/2004\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 270\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.15lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.28h x 6.44w x 0.98d","brand":"Amilcare Iannucci","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48065134428415,"sku":"9780802086013","price":88.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_73804087-edc1-4311-ab5b-8576d2b77c80.jpg?v=1768673219","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/dante-cinema-and-television-amilcare-iannucci-9780802086013","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
